Features:

* The logfiles are xml with embedded stylesheet, so that they can be opened 
directly in the browser

* User can create their own stylesheet to change the rendering of the log

* Logging to the database and Event Logs (TBD)

* Split log files based on time and size

* Auto purge to conserve space

* Sharing log is as simple as creating a web application pointing to the log folder

There are many good log framework (like nlog, elmah etc.) that are more generic 
and expressive. This program is a simple framework that allows viewing
and manipulating log files in a browser. 

How to use:

* Copy the logger.xml file to your folder and make changes as needed

* After running, open the index.html file directly on a latest browser 
(Chrome, and Firefox works, IE Edge currently does not work because of
security)

* Or create a web application pointing to the log folder and run index.html 
(IE browser works here)
